Club career

Born in Vila do Conde, Novo played as a youth for local clubs Varzim S.C. and Rio Ave FC. His early senior career was however spent at a lower level – including A.D.C. Balasar of the Porto Football Association's third district league in 2013–14 – though he won a national title in beach soccer with S.C. Braga in 2014.[1]

After two years with F.C. Famalicão,[2] the latter in the Segunda Liga, Novo signed a deal of the same length with G.D. Chaves in the Primeira Liga.[3] Third choice to Ricardo Nunes and António Filipe, he made just one brief substitute appearance in each of his seasons with the team from Trás-os-Montes; the first was on 8 May 2017 in the final matchday (1–2 away loss against G.D. Estoril Praia), in which the latter was sent off with six minutes remaining and he was immediately beaten by a free kick from Mattheus.[4][5]

On 14 June 2018, Novo returned to Varzim on a two-year deal.[6] The following 1 July, he moved abroad for the first time, joining several compatriots at FC Hermannstadt in Romania.[7] He made his debut in Liga I 18 days later, a 2–0 home defeat to local rivals CS Gaz Metan Mediaș.[8]
